Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with volvulus. Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of midgut volvulus. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of volvulus include whirlpool sign.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with volvulus.[1]
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of midgut volvulus as a complication of intestinal malrotation in children.
- Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of volvulus include whirlpool sign that denotes twisting of the superior mesenteric vein and mesentery around the superior mesenteric artery.
